Geoffery Paine has submitted the following, which is very much in the Terry Jones vein.
It’s a bit depressing, to be honest, but seems to sum up the feelings of many Villa fans of late, including my own;

Well, we are a joke.
West Ham have agreed a fee with Manchester City for Joleon Lescott.

We know villa wont pay the ninety thousand pounds a week wage he gets there so we missed out again.
No Wells either, he’s going to Hudderfield.
All Lambert wants is a poor midfielder called Hoolahan and I’m sorry, but I think we are going to get
relegated this season.
Why are we not going for Defour instead of a poor player who cant get in the Norwich first team?

Well if proof was ever neede to show Lerners greed and total disregard for Villa it’s Grant Holt Wes Hoolahan. A team of cheap cheap bargain championship and league 1 players. Even the most staunch Lerner support can not blame Lambert now. Lerner out.

bent is on a season long loan ~ it can’t be altered unless Fulham return him ~ and Morrison is Fulham bound ~ tom ince is wanted by lots of teams and blackpool will command a large fee, plus how many games has he played in premier. isn’t victor frankinstien mosses isn’t he on loan at poo from Chelsea

we wont average 35k next season if we continue to play the way we do even if we stay up. the only reason the crowds are decent is because of the ST’s sold pre season on the wave of optimism due to out finish and keeping tekkers, that wont happen this summer should we continue the way we are, ST sales will be much, much lower. that the main reason McLeish got the boot, too many people weren’t prepared to pay for another season of that and learner knew it, same might happen this summer.
this theory that benteke is playing shite in order to force a move is crap, think about it, on his current form nobody is interested in buying him, he hasn’t been linked with a single club despite several title and honours chasing teams being in desperate need of one where as if he was playing well like last season he’d currently be linked with loads of clubs and we’d be wondering if we could hold on to him till the end of the season. playing shite on purpose is going to do the opposite of forcing a move which is currently clearly demonstrated plus he’s got to be falling way down the pecking order for Belgium in a WC year. I find it hard to explain his seeming lack of enthusiasm though.

I’m not sure why anyone is confused by the Holt story. Our tactics are hit long then defend maniacally until a defender or the goalie can kick long and repeat. the players between the defence and long ball receivers are the advance defence, there to soften the blow for the defenders and/or goalie to get the ball to hoof it up to the strikers to lose. An attacking midfielder is pointless, what we need are a couple of extra, tall, strikers.

On a more serious note, why don’t Donacien and Helenius go out on loan? They’re clearly on the bench to look pretty, and Helenius in particular is never going to get chosen over any of the other strikers. They both seem ready to start playing grown up football so why not ship them out to the championship or league 1 and get them some competitive game time. They both have something to prove, give them a chance. Donacien is behind Herd (a midfielder) and Lowton (a RB) in the pecking order and presumably if they are both injured people like Albrighton and KEA would get to play CB before he gets a chance. Let’s not even talk about Helenius, who knows what he’s done wrong.
